My band decided to do a cover of Roulette Dares. I can't tell you how fun that song is to play. When everyone clicks together...oh man, there is just so much energy.

I guess to answer the thread's question I prefer the Mars Volta. I only got into At the Drive In because of the Mars Volta, honestly. Deloused pretty much changed my life.

On a side note, I always found the differences between Sparta and the Mars Volta to be really interesting. It really does feel like an even split of talents from ATDI. The experimental progressive side went into TMV while the raw energy side went to Sparta. Listening to ATDI now, I can clearly pick out who probably came up with what part.
